So Long

So long to my dog Snickers

Who ate Christmas tinsel

So long to Mr. Whiskers

Who jumped out of a window

And to the family of gerbils

Who chewed out of their cage

And the little brown rabbit

I ran over by mistake

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side

So long to the goldfish

Who ate each others' tails

So long to the chipmunk

Trapped under the stairs

So long to the rosebush

I never watered

And to whatever was inside

That hole that I raked over

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side

So long to the seagull

I hit with a rock

So long to the squirrel

I accidentally shot

And to everything I burned

With a magnifying lens

That long, lonely summer

When I was only ten

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side

So long, so long

I'll see you on the other side
